i cant believe she didnt get jumped by the whole team!
Thats good sportmanship on byus part
im glad she is suspended indefinitely and im extra glad they lost!
BS, the lines do not get blurred between good hard play and dirty playing. I use to play soccer at that level of play and the only time the games got like this is when the players were getting frustrated. You can be the best player out there, but when you start pulling crap like that (no matter if you were taunted or not) you become nothing more than a thug and need to be removed. Getting in to the opponents head IS part of the game, beating their head in is not.Jamesgeologist has a good point. The other thing that we need to keep in mind is all the media showed was the UNM girls blows to the BYU team. We don't get the whole story and we never will. Was she being taunted by BYU players? Maybe, the media is only going to show the worst of the worst and since it was based in Utah I can only assume that the clips were going to be shown on a Utah slant. She plays defense and she was playing an aggressive game. Not all that bad. When you get to that level the line between good, hard play and dirty becomes blurred. Don't believe me? Watch a pro Football game closely sometime. Every offensive lineman is holding the defenseive player. When they lock up there is a grip of defensive jersey in every offensive linemans hands. Some let go after they are beat, those that don't get called for holding, sometimes. She played hard and she played aggressive but, she also got caught.
